linear:delete

A command for archiving or permanently deleting a Linear issue. Archiving hides the issue in Linear while keeping it recoverable through the archive; permanent deletion cannot be undone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to archive an issue by identifier, or permanently delete one when irreversible removal is intended.
Why use it?
It provides a direct way to remove obsolete work while making the safer archive action the default.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

linear:delete scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Command /linear:delete

Archive or permanently delete a Linear issue. Archives by default.

Instructions

Step 0: Validate Configuration

Check LINEAR_API_KEY and LINEAR_TEAM are set.

Step 1: Fetch Issue

Parse id to extract team key and number. Fetch issue to confirm it exists and get its UUID and title.

Step 2: Execute Action

If archive (default, archive is not "false"):

Use issueArchive mutation from graphql-queries.md.

If permanent delete (archive=false):

Use issueDelete mutation. This is irreversible.

Step 3: Display Result

## Issue Archived

**TEAM-123**: Issue title here

The issue has been archived and moved to the archive view.

Or for permanent delete:

## Issue Deleted

**TEAM-123**: Issue title here

The issue has been permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
